Abstract The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Taxonomy includes
organism names and classifications for every sequence in the nucleotide and protein …

Fungi are morphologically, ecologically, metabolically, and phylogenetically diverse. They
are known to produce numerous bioactive molecules, which makes them very useful for …

Abstract tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), including tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) and
tRNA halves (tiRNAs), are small regulatory RNAs processed from mature tRNAs or …

Fungi typically live in highly diverse communities composed of multiple ecological guilds.
Although high-throughput sequencing has greatly increased the ability to quantify the …

With the growing anthropogenic pressure on marine ecosystems, the need for efficient
monitoring of biodiversity grows stronger. DNA metabarcoding of bulk samples is …

The nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region is the formal fungal barcode
and in most cases the marker of choice for the exploration of fungal diversity in …

Taxonomic identification of biological materials can be achieved through DNA barcoding,
where an unknown “barcode” sequence is compared to a reference database. In many …

Accurate species-level identification of an etiological agent is crucial for disease diagnosis
and management because knowing the agent's identity connects it with what is known about …

The purpose of this review is to present the most common and emerging DNA‐based
methods used to generate data for biodiversity and biomonitoring studies. As environmental …

Fusarium ranks as one of the world's most economically destructive and species-rich groups
of mycotoxigenic plant pathogens (Aoki et al. 2014). These ubiquitous molds produce a …
